balancing the scan or digital image, deciding on size of needlepoint and
other details. Items below are not for sale. Prices are in
direct proportion to size. A 6"x8" bespoke needlepoint utilizing 32
shades of hand dyed wool on 18pt canvas would run $2800. Direct questions and inquiries to

Elegy, Duino Elegies, Rainer Maria Rilke, as translated by CF
MacIntyre

Praise the world to the angel,
not the unutterable world;

you cannot astonish him with your
glorious feelings;

in the universe, where he feels
more sensitively, you're just a beginner.
